National & Local Events

NVSBC’s premier, annual, multi-day Federal contracting event is focused entirely on business growth and development. The largest conference of its kind in the nation, each year’s VETS Conference is attended by veteran business owners and their executives, large prime contractors, and senior-level representatives from many of the Agencies who purchase services from our veterans.

Now in its 12th year, the Awards Gala is the only annual event of its kind recognizing Federal Agencies and Federal Contracting Primes that excel in their support of Veteran small businesses. A formal evening event hosted in the DC metropolitan area, the event attracts top Agency officials and business CEOs from the GovCon sector as well as hundreds of Veteran small business owners and their teams.

NVSBC’s annual symposium to address the strategies and processes for Veteran owned small business who seek to obtain and leverage business capital. The Symposium hosts finance subject matter experts who share insights tailored the Federal contracting industry, including learning more about start-up capital, steady-state capital, growth capital, or transition capital.

Traditionally held in the Summer at the Army Navy Club in Arlington, VA, this annual charity event is a perennial sell-out, attracting golfers who represent businesses and agencies across the GovCon industry. Proceeds from the Charity Golf Tournament directly benefit the NVSBC Education Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
